It’s funny, we think we’re going to feel this way during the BIG moments- like our wedding day or when we get that raise we’ve been pushing for. . . But sometimes so much is going on during those big moments that we miss the “wonderfulness” until we look back. . . Sometimes it’s the little moments that we feel exactly when they’re happening. . . Like waking up and feeling that for one brief moment, everything is as it should be. . . Or sharing a laugh with someone you haven’t heard laugh for a very long time. . . Or that moment of realizing you helped a child move forward because of what you do. There is so much magic and power in being an SLP. . . I hope you have a whole lot of something wonderful this week!

Awhile ago, someone asked me if I would be open to making the sentence strips in my visuals resource have pictures! The answer is finally YES! ☺️❤️ I have updated this resource to include a TON of visual sentence strips and sentence starters of 3, 4, and 5 words! If you already own this, go redownload to get the update! . . I love having options available for all of my kids to be successful! Whether that is a written sentence, a visual sentence strip, or verbal cues from me, it’s so important to find what works best for each student to be successful! . . #Slp #slplife #slpeeps #speechies #speechtherapy #slpsofinstagram #slpsfollowslps #ashaigers #schoolslp #slp2b #slp2be #specialeducation #teacher #iteachtoo #school #privatepracticeslp #teacherspayteachers #slpsontpt #tpt #weteachsped #instaslp #spedtribe #livecolorfully #autism #visuals #sentencestrips #aac #aacslp

I think that most of the time, when we're doing AAC coaching and training that we need to keep things simple. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Model → Prompt → Respond has been an awesome, effective, simple strategy that has been really successful for staff and families I've worked with. The best part is that it doesn't require ANY response from our students.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This strategy is super useful if you're struggling with people who...⠀⠀ Place too many demands on our early communicators⠀⠀ Say "tell me on your talker" all day long⠀⠀ Expect students to know how to find words on their AAC systems without lots and lots of modeling⠀⠀ Overprompt or resort to physically manipulating our students too often⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When I teach this strategy, I usually also include information about a prompting hierarchy AND how to respond indirectly using comments like "Well I think it's exciting!" or "It looks like you want to be all done". ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I'm so passionate about AAC therapy and just want all of the AAC users in the world to have a community that supports them in an effective, engaging, and low pressure way. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ PS: This printable is from my AAC Implementation Toolkit. There's a link to it in the link in my IG profile in case you're interested!

Words cannot explain how much this guy means to me! Huds had a lengthy hospital stay and today was our first session back - holy cow - he blew my socks off! This guy is one of the strongest, smartest, most empathetic children I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We had to snap a pic because I wore my ‘Your Words Matter’ shirt just for him ♥️#prekslp #aacslp #slpeeps #yourwordsmatter #schoolslp #ashaigers #cfslp #nsshla

One of my favorite AAC moments is when the student is united for the very first time with his/her device after determining his/her needs from the AAC evaluation. Today my student was so excited and motivated to use her device for the first time. It was such a smooth and fun session! She also transitioned back to the classroom so well and was so excited to show her peers her new device! Really makes me remember why I love doing what I do ❤️

On to the next chapter! #slp2be #novagrad #ashaigers #schoolslp #aacslp #prekslp #graduation #masterjordan

Tangible core board, because all kids deserve a communication system that matches their symbol ability. By the way, would totally recommend this on a black foam board. #aac #aacslp #aacforall #aacawareness #schoolslp #educationalservicecenter #speechie #speechielife #boardmaker #boardmakeronline #corewords #slplife @tobii_dynavox
